With a sudden declaration, the destroyer girls...!

Satsuki: The strongest...
destroyer!
SFX: Chitter-chatter

Satsuki: Guarding the main fleet! The climatic decisive battle!
Awesome!!

Page 154
Satsuki: Destroying the Abyssal fleet and protecting the peace!
The chance to fight on the frontline...
You can leave it to us!

Naga: Fascinating.
Perhaps because our skills must have deteroriated after doing merely expeditions as of late...
(Hmph...)

Fumi: Fumizuki will do her best too~
SatsukI: Yeah, you and I gotta aim for the top!
[Spin]

Minazuki: But wait, some of us are Mutuski-class,
and between destroyers there's a lot of variation in ship specs.
Isn't that kinda unfair?

Hyuuga: Specs are not what's most important in these exercises.

---

Page 155
Hyuuga: There will of course be shelling and torpedo battles, as these are foundational skills...

Hyuuga: But, while fighting alongside the larger ships serving as the main force
in fleet battle exercises against an opposing fleet,
there will also be convoy escorts battles, rat runs where you yourself do the transporting, and more...

Hyuuga: What is needed is the ability to fight in various scenarios and conditions.

Naga: So the flexibility necessary to adapt to battlefield conditions is critical...

---

Naga: However, that does not change the fact that we displace less than the others.
Additionally, our drilling-
(Hmm...)
Minazuki: Will there be a prize or anything?
[Shoot]

Naga: Come now, it's still a mission. Don't play around...
Hyuuga: Hm...

Hyuuga: I'm not certain what that might be.
But anyone that serves as close guards of the main fleet should not be compensated like an ordinary destroyer.
You can safely expect there to be one.

Mina: That means...

Mina: Lots of time off!
A reward we can use to buy cute clothes and stuff!
And then, and then, super fancy food with dessert every night!
Ahhh, maybe a private room where I can sleep through the night without dealing with Sacchin's snoring...!
[Howawa...]

Naga: I see, perhaps it would be beneficial to apply for equipment as well...?
Mina: Look, even Naganaga's getting into it now!
Satsuki: You can be pretty calculating, Minazuki, huh.

Page 157
Fumi: Helping fill for each other's weaknesses,
and striving to excel in our strong suits.

Fumi: If we all work together and do what we're best at,

Fumi: I'm sure we'll be number one!
SFX: Shine

Satsuki: Yeah, yeah, we can do it, totally!
Mina: Fumi-chan, I love it when you're so positive!
Naga: I do admire you.
Fumi: Ehehe...

Shiratsuyu: Number one!?
[Shove]
Satsuki: Uwah!

Satsuki: Shiratsuyu-chan!

Shiratsuysu: Someone just said "number one", right!?
Number one means me!

Shiratsuyu: So, what's going on?
?
Satsuki: You butted in without knowing!?

---

Page 159
Samidare: Jeez, Shiratsuyu-neesan, she always gets like this when anyone says "number one"...
Harusame: Sorry, Fumizuki-chan, Satsuki-chan...!

Fumi: It's okay, it's okay, having things you care a lot about is important.
Naga: Although an obsession without clear direction is troublesome.
Shiratsuyu: What'd you say!?

Shigure: The strongest destroyer division in the distrct...
SFX: Pat

Shigure: So a festival where your beloved "number one" will be decided, neesan.
Shiratsuyu: Shigure!

Shiratsuyu: That's what this is, huh? I think I got it!
In that case!
[Clench...]

---

Page 160
Shiratsuyu: We of the 27th Destroyer Division
will of course be number one!!
[Blam]

Satsuki: Hmmm?
Shiratsuyu: !!
[Quiver]

Satsuki: What a big ego you got there.
Shiratsuyu: Of course! I'm number one, after all!
SFX: [Poke poke poke]
[Clench clench]

Satsuki: If Shiratsuyu's number one, I'm super number one!
Shirasuyu: Then I'm super number one kai!
Fumi: Satsuki-chan, Shiratsuyu-chan, both of you!
[Jeeeeez]

---

Page 161
Shigure: Sorry about Shiratsuyu's bad habit...
Shiratsuyu: Watch it, Shigure!

Shigure: But
[Step]

Shigure: if it comes to a fight, let's all clash with all our strength.
As shipgirls that's fair and square, right?

Katori: Those girls... we haven't even finished speaking.
Come now, it's time to quiet-
Hyuuga: interesting.

Hyuuga: They believe they'll win without a doubt in their minds.
How promising.

Hyuuga: Very well.

---

Page 162
Hyuuga: We'll have the first battle be between you two squadrons.
Try and show to us which of you has the superior fighting form.

Hyuuga: There's no method more clear-cut than that, right?

Mina: Wait! No matter how you put it, that's too soon-

Satsuki: Just what I was hoping for!
Shiratsuyu: I like that number one goes first!
Mina: [Squish]

Hyuuga: At 1000 hours tomorrow morning in the nearby waters,

---

Page 163
Hyuuga: Large-scale exercises will be held, with both representatives from HQ and shipgirls from other districts observing.

Hyuuga: You carry the weight of the next era on your shoulders, destroyers. Let us see how skilled you are.

[Nom nom]
Fumi: Mmm...
[Chew chew]

Fumi: Smo good!
[Shine]

Mina: You guys really go at your own paces, huh...
Fumi: I need to be nice and strong for tomorrow~
Naga: [Chew chew]

---

Page 165
Mina: It's good to have some motivation, but our opponents...
Satsuki: ?

Naga: One cannot simply dismiss Shiratsuyu, of course...

Naga: But alongside her is Shigure.
Now that girl
is a distinguished ship.

Satsuki: Re-pute...?
What'd she do again?
[Chew chew]
Fumi: (You've got rice on your face...)
Naga: Pay more attention, Satsuki.

Naga: I'm referring to ships that achieved feats of arms especially worthy of recognition.
Demon Goddess Ayanami.
Nightmare of Solomon Yuudachi
Yukikaze of Kure. And...

---

Page 165
Naga: Second of the Shiratsuyu-class,
Shigure of Sasebo.

Shigure: There are countless examples of how she seems to be shielded by fortune... but those are all grounded in genuine skill as well.
Bringing decisiveness and refined skill to the battlefield...
they're why she deserves to be called a "distinguished ship".

Naga: The chance to face such a strong opponent truly excites me-
Satsuki: [Snap]

Satsuki: Are you even listening, you brat!?
(Don't add bean sprouts!!)
Satsuki: I'm listening, I am! You're giving me your salmon, right?
(Ahh)
Naga: You're not, are you!?

---

Page 167
Satsuki: There's no point saying all this now, is there?
All we can do is put our best into the fight before us! What else can we do, right?

Naga: (Don't point with your chopsticks.)

Satsuki: Anyway, give me your meat!
Naga: Look here!
Mina: Kay, kay, no fighting at the table.

Fumizuki
Satsuki
Nagatsuki
Minazuki♡

Bed: Knock-knock
Fumi: (Ah!)
Satsuki: You awake?
Fumi: Satsuki-chan!

Fumi: I, I guess...

Satsuki: ...

---

Page 169
Satsuki: Hup!
[Swoop]

Satsuki: Whatcha hidin'?
[Struggle]
Fumi: Wha, stop!
Stop it!
Ahh!

Satsuki: A naval combat...
textbook?
Book: Imperial Navy Torpedo-

Satsuki: Why a book all of a sudden?

Fumi: When it was decided we'd be facing DesDiv 27...
I figured I couldn't do it the way I am now.

Fumi: Cause...I'm sorta behind.
I wondered how I could make sure not to hold everyone else back.

---

Page 170
Satsuki: You're taking this pretty seriously, Fumi...

Satsuki: Don't forget what's really important.
It's the four of us that make up the 22nd Destroyer Division.
Scroll: Four Seasons Seven Days

Satsuki: You can't go overdoing it, Fumizuki!
Okay?

SFX: [Clasp[]

Fumi: You're right!

---

Page 171
Satsuki: Now that that's settled, we should come up with some plans.
Better safe than whatever!
Fumi: "Than sorry"!

Mina: Think we missed our chance to jump in, Naganaga.
Naga: Stop it with the "Naganaga".
Mina: Ah, so you were awake.

Hyuuga: We've finished arranging for the materials, fighting areas, and facilities needed for the exercise.
[Slide]

Hyuuga: Don't cause any trouble.
Katori: [Clack]

Page 172
Katori: They're all on edge...
Moving forward on drive alone... it's a little concerning
(Thanks).
Hyuuga: Well, I suppose so.
Ise: There it is, Hyuuga's "I suppose so"!

Hyuuga: But you can't dismiss drive out-of-hand, you know?
Those that are driven work out plans and make desperate efforts. In the end everyone gets dragged into their flow.

Hyuuga: By the way, Ise.
How's the matter we discussed?

Ise: We had the local waters surveyed with recon planes...
As of now, nothing special has...
SFX: [Vroom]

Hyuuga: That so?
Ise: But their current movements are certainly concerning.

---

Page 173
Hyuuga: There may be
less time than we had anticipated.

---

Page 174
Fumi: Fuwahhh...
Mina: What, you sleepy?

Fumi: Satsuki-chan wouldn't really let me sleep...
Mina: That's not really something you should be saying in company...
Fumi: ??
Satsuki: (Hup!
Hup!)

---

Page 175
Satsuki: Alright everyone, ready to go!?
22nd Destroyer Division...
Fi-

Mina: H-Hold up a sec!
Satsuki: Wah!!
[Swoosh]

Satsuki: Oh come on, Minazuki, what is it!

Mina: We haven't decided on our flagship yet, have we!?
Satsuki: Come to think of it...

Satsuki?: We never give it much thought...
They said something about deciding based on plane shootdowns?
Naga?: Listen more closely, it's the most important position.

Satsuki: I know, I know!
[Shoot]

---

Page 176
Satsuki: I think Fumizuki would be good!
Fumi: Huh!?

Fumi: No way... you should, Satsuki-chan.
Satsuki: I'd just dive in without thinking anyway.

Naga: Well, it's certainly better than leaving it to Satsuki.
Mina: Fumi-chan would watch out for all of us too.

Satsuki: See?
[Pat]

Fumi: If you all agree..

[Breathe in]
[Out]

---

Page 177
Fumi: 22nd Destroyer Division,
let's show them our true ability!
DDs: Yeah!

Hyuuga: Both sides look plenty motivated.

Hyuuga: Alright, we'll now begin the exercise between the 22nd and 27th Destroyer Divisions.

---

Page 178
Hyuuga: Both destroyer divisions, give everything you've got,
and carve us a victory on the dawn horizon!
